Evolon®
food contact fabrics for enhanced hygiene and leaner processes

Evolon® microfilament fabrics intended for food contact offer multiple textile and functional benefits. They help to improve hygiene conditions, manufacturing processes, and food conservation.

With their dense and compact fiber structure, Evolon® textiles offer excellent barrier properties, including particle, air, and liquid filtration, thermal insulation, and UV protection. They also serve as an effective insect barrier, particularly against mosquitoes. At the same time, they absorb water and oil, ensuring outstanding moisture management.

Applications for food contact-compliant Evolon® textiles

Innovative bakery pads made from Evolon® help improve hygiene in bakeries. They are an excellent alternative to the linen pads traditionally used by bakers during the rising process.

Evolon® textiles also have several other food contact applications, e.g. in manufacturing, storage, transport, and conservation – for bakery products, vegetables, fruits, and much more.

The benefits of Evolon® microfilament fabrics for food contact stem from a unique technology developed by Freudenberg Performance Materials. Each square meter of Evolon® contains thousands of kilometers of endless, ultra-fine microfilaments. These microfilaments create an extensive internal surface in contact with air, thus ensuring excellent moisture management.
